During her 75 years, Linda played many roles including daughter, wife, Mom and Nana.  She was always wearing a smile and had the ultimate positive outlook on life.  She was a very patient person, full of knowledge and wonderful advice.  She had a huge heart and warm spirit. She was incredibly loved by so many for her kindness, strength and tenacity.

After retirement, she went on to be a founding member of The Limu Company and launched distribution in all of the Midwest impacting many lives. The company took her and her husband, Bob, on many journeys and adventures. They loved the business and all of the wonderful friends they met along the way. They always considered everyone in the company their family and made many memories over the years. Her family and friends were so very proud of her hard work and dedication in the way she led her life. She was a true inspiration to all.

Linda enjoyed spending time boating and fishing with her husband and daughter at their home away from home at Table Rock Lake.  She also loved traveling, gardening, playing softball, painting, teaching, playing crossword puzzles and loving their family dogs.  She adored the time spent with her granddaughter playing cards and board games, shopping, and giving her great life advice.
